Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail

Because you have to look at the bigger picture, there's usually a reason for these things rather than just saying South Australians are "cheap". In this instance, you could argue much of the reason is the average pay packet for S.A people is the lowest of all the mainland states. Meaning l...

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail

Ted Baker is done? That’s a shame. Why can’t decent retailers sustain themselves in Adelaide? Our retail offering is dire I work in ecommerce luxury apparel advertising online I don't even show ads in South Australia because South Australians are cheap. Its the only state I exclude entirely. You so...

[APP] Re: 108 Franklin Street | 68m | 2 x 19 Levels | Hotel and Apartments

From what I’ve heard they are having trouble getting construction funding because of low sales. It’s hearsay but from a fairly reliable source. I find this surprising, considering the current state of the housing market (demand far outstripping supply), and the severe shortage of comparable project...

[U/C] Re: SAHMRI Stage 2

Obviously a way to go, but the sun shading system so far isn’t as architecturally striking as I hoped. Could end a fairly plain glass building. Yeap agree, but it's a bit harder to be critical of the external look of this one when the main point is more about what's inside. Pretty important buildin...

Would you prefer a boring cookie cutter stadium with no character?
Give me an example of a cookie cutter stadium? Plus the no character.

Good stuff 👍 When was the last time there were 3 cranes operating at Glenelg? Way back to the Holdfast Shores development in the late 90's perhaps.

Making Anzac Hwy and the other roads more people friendly is always a good idea too.

In what way, how do we do that?

Dialling back any concerns about urban character and looking at the fundamental location, is apartment living by a 10 lane road really living the dream?

You're talking about a tiny section of Anzac Highway fronting South Road?

Re: News & Developments: Anzac Highway
